The Heat is Back

Ladies,

I felt for you, I truly did. The heat is back in a big way, and plan on it staying that way for at least a week. Be very certain to drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of salt, and getting a banana a day won't hurt. Electrolytes and water are the keys to surviving the hot stuff.

We are running the Milwaukee Trail tomorrow, 4 PM, U Street entrance. We will warm up, then using the mile markers (which are accurate to my GPS) we will do our tempo. It will be warm, but cooler than our course would be, and of course much flatter. I will run with you in some way, because I have to get the splits, or at the very least, the final time.

How might we do this? My preference for now is to warm up, stretch, run down to the mile marker, then do a straight-line 2-mile run. That would give us the distance we want as well as the difficulty. The catch to that is simple - no water. You will have to carry a drink with you, and I suggest a small Gatorade. You'll be glad you have it at the end of the hard part.

15 minutes hard. That's what we're talking about. 15 hard minutes. You can do it.

I did my workout after yours tonight, just so you know I'm not dodging. Click the link below if you are interested.

Look at those splits, ladies!

I keep telling you ladies about Strava, and for those of you with Garmins, it really is a cool site. Tracks your miles and gives you splits. Very nice tool.
